This patch introduces a vDPA-based vhost backend. This backend is built on top of the same interface defined in virtio-vDPA and provides a generic vhost interface for userspace to accelerate the virtio devices in guest. This backend is implemented as a vDPA device driver on top of the same ops used in virtio-vDPA. It will create char device entry named vhost-vdpa-$index for userspace to use. Userspace can use vhost ioctls on top of this char device to setup the backend. Vhost ioctls are extended to make it type agnostic and behave like a virtio device, this help to eliminate type specific API like what vhost_net/scsi/vsock did: - VHOST_VDPA_GET_DEVICE_ID: get the virtio device ID which is defined by virtio specification to differ from different type of devices - VHOST_VDPA_GET_VRING_NUM: get the maximum size of virtqueue supported by the vDPA device - VHSOT_VDPA_SET/GET_STATUS: set and get virtio status of vDPA device - VHOST_VDPA_SET/GET_CONFIG: access virtio config space - VHOST_VDPA_SET_VRING_ENABLE: enable a specific virtqueue For memory mapping, IOTLB API is mandated for vhost-vDPA which means userspace drivers are required to use VHOST_IOTLB_UPDATE/VHOST_IOTLB_INVALIDATE to add or remove mapping for a specific userspace memory region. The vhost-vDPA API is designed to be type agnostic, but it allows net device only in current stage. Due to the lacking of control virtqueue support, some features were filter out by vhost-vdpa. We will enable more features and devices in the near future.

This option allows vhost to support guests with a different byte

ordering from host while using legacy virtio.

Userspace programs can control the feature using the

VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN and VHOST_GET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctls.
|
|
|
|
This is only useful on a few platforms (ppc64 and arm64). Since it

adds some overhead, it is disabled by default.
